Diabetes

Type 2 diabetes requires the reduction of sugar levels. An Amchara detox provides the option to juice fast or eat health low sugar nutritious food. The detox is supervised and you are carefully monitored during your stay. Clinical trials provide evidence that lifestyle intervention around dietary change can significantly improve the reliance of Type 2 Diabetes medication for sufferers. One such trial has been the Newcastle Univeristy Clinical Trial, funded by Diabetes UK. The results show that the people, within the experiment cohort, who reduced their calorie intake to 600 calories per day over an 8 week period, all no longer required type 2 diabetes medication after the trial and 7 out of the 11 did not need it 3 months later.

Amchara will work with you to improve your relationship with food, to a healthier lifestyle, over a sustainable period. Change For Good is our mantra and change that lasts involves some key elements including:

Improving your relationship with food

Finding new foods that you can positively enjoy

Working to make your food social and joyful

Helping improve your Blood Sugar levels

Our cultures relationship with food has been badly fractured. We have too much food, it’s not always good quality and a lot of it is deliberately designed to be addictive using sugar. None of this is good for any of us, but for those who have believed the stories that junk food is kind of okay, and also have the genetic disposition to issues with insulin, then our modern diet has been disastrous.

Those of us with type two diabetes are like the canaries in the mines, they fall first, and hardest from eating the food that is on every street corner, in all our supermarkets and regrettably sold in our schools.

In the UK the NHS spends over £12 Billion pound a year, that’s over £1 million pound an hour on diabetes and this is set to nearly double in the next 25 years. The UK diabetic association refer to this as the diabetes explosion. A person is diagnosed with diabetes in the UK every 5 minutes. It would not be overstating things to say we have an explosion, in fact we have a diabetes tsunami.

Many people with type 2 diabetes find that even though they know their kidney function, their eyesight, their very lives are on the line, can still find it incredibly hard to change the habits that are killing them. You can never ever get well if you remain overweight, unfit and eating junk food. That road only has one destination.

Knowing, and doing are two different things, and if education worked we would have no tobacco industry and everyone would drink only moderate amounts of alcohol, whilst sales of fruits and vegetables would outsell pizza and fried chicken. Being human is a difficult and perhaps dangerous thing when trying to manage your diabetes.

Some people find a break from their regular routines and temptations and a kick start to eating well helps them gather the momentum needed to take control of their health and make themselves well again. Once your sugar levels reduce and are under control it can be easier to think straight and resist your cravings.

Some sufferers of type 1 diabetes can also find that a massive change in their diet and lifestyle can result in cutting the requirement of insulin, though our programme is not suitable for type 1 diabetics. We recommend watching the documentary “Raw for 30 days” to see how many people improved their diabetes through improved nutrition.

At Amchara we provide the perfect peaceful environment to enable you to change your lifestyle habits and eventually re-enter your regular lives, healthy and empowered to sustain these changes, to Change For Good.
